Just moments before the last break, familiar sounding shouts sounded throughout the Tournament Poker Room here at Foxwoods. The FoxwoodsPoker,com Blog staff quickly turned around to see Luigi Petrone once again jumping out of his chair and celebrating (he had previously won a big hand and celebrated in a similar fashion). This time he upped the celebration "dance" by running up and down the middle aisle of the casino and shouting so that the entire room could hear him, and at one pointed jumped up and down in a "leaping" motion.
According to Petrone, a player in early position had raised to 1,200 preflop. Petrone called, and a player in late position made it 3,800. Both the early position player as well as Petrone called.
When the flop came [kh][qh][5s], the early position player bet 5,000, Petrone made it 12,000, and the player in late position called. With action back on the player in early position, he shoved all in for 24,000, Petrone shoved all in for 66,000, and the player in late position called.
The early position player had flopped two pair holding king-queen, Petrone had flopped a set of fives, and the player in late position had flopped a flush draw.
The turn and river did not bring a king or queen, nor did it bring the flush. Petrone has now chipped up to 169,200 and the celebration continues on.
